NAME

Bio::Tools::TandemRepeatsFinder - a parser for Tandem Repeats Finder output

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Tools::TandemRepeatsFinder;

# create parser
my $parser = Bio::Tools::Bio::Tools::TandemRepeatsFinder->new(-file => 'tandem_repeats.out');

# loop through results
while( my $feature = $parser->next_result ) {

    # print the source sequence id, start, end, percent matches, and the consensus sequence
    my ($percent_matches)    = $feat->get_tag_values('percent_matches');
    my ($consensus_sequence) = $feat->get_tag_values('consensus_sequence');
    print $feat->seq_id()."\t".$feat->start()."\t".$feat->end()."\t$percent_matches\t$consensus_sequence\n"; 

}

DESCRIPTION

A parser for Tandem Repeats Finder output. Written and tested for version 4.00

Location, seq_id, and score are stored in Bio::SeqFeature::Generic feature. All other data is stored in tags. The available tags are

period_size
copy_number
consensus_size
percent_matches
percent_indels
percent_a
percent_c
percent_g
percent_t
entropy
consensus_sequence
repeat_sequence
run_parameters
sequence_description

The run_parameters are stored in a hashref with the following key:

match_weight
mismatch_weight
indel_weight
match_prob
indel_prob
min_score
max_period_size
